July 7th, Thursday,  10:00 a.m.

“I got the sun in the morning……”

With forecasts of a heat index exceeding 100 degrees today,  I set the alarm for 6 a.m. and was on the cinders before 7 o’clock.  It was already 75 degrees but about one-third of the 800 meter track was still in shade.  I was determined to achieve my goal of a 30 minute run today, and accomplished that with 10 minutes warm-up  walk and 10 minutes post walk.  It is exactly two months since my race on May 7th where I injured my foot. Today I experienced no discomfort in my foot.  I am wearing my new compression socks and my new Asics Kayano 22 running shoes.  I feel pretty well protected. The  shoes are very comfortable and seem to be very supportive. So far I like them.         Also rolling,  stretching and icing foot…

I anticipated that I would be so tired that I would go back to bed after my early morning run today.  As it turns out I am wide awake and having breakfast and writing my blog instead.  We will see how the day unfolds.
